As you can see, what was once The Olive Branch has changed. New name, new look, new layout. And lots of good things in store. Our mission is the same. We hope you will continue in your journey with us as we serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
God bless!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for instilling in us a desire to serve Your kingdom. Lord, we are so far from perfect, yet You equip us and use us for Your glory. We love You, Lord, and seek to complete the work you set before us. Help us to reach those who desire to know You more. It is in Your name we pray, Amen.

Something Different
by Charity Pence
Due to my schedule, I've had a difficult time keeping up with this blog. That being said, I'd like to "change it up" a bit. Rather than keeping to the traditional format, I will be varying the posts. Though I will occasionally share a regular devotion, on any given week a post may focus on one of the following:
one verse
a group of verses
a person from the Bible
a group of people from the Bible
an issue currently affecting the church
a prayer...
or anything else I or anyone else feels led to share.
The Olive Branch has been God's tool since this blog was created, and I do not want to interfere with that. This blog has been a spiritual building block for me and everyone else who has taken part in it. So let's continue the work. If you have anything to share, please let me know by commenting or sending an email to fccgals@hotmail.com. I will also welcome any feedback.
I'd like to end this post with this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, please use me and this blog as Your outlet so that Your light shines to the world. Let it be You that people see, and let it be You that people turn to. Please help me to be open to your leading, Lord. Thank You for trusting me in this endeavor. Sometimes it seems like such a small attempt to reach others for You, but if one person comes to know You, Lord, then it's more than enough. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Changes
I'm not a big fan of that word. Changes. Sometimes they hurt. Sometimes they make us uncomfortable, especially when we have to step out of our comfort zone. That being said, the changes to The Olive Branch will hardly be noticeable. Actually, the only change will be to the posting schedule.
The Olive Branch will continue to be about God and glorifying His name. Bethany has done a great job with managing this blog as have the women who came before her. They deserve a round of applause. Let's keep the momentum going and continue reaching others for Christ!
I will eagerly welcome any contributions. If you would like to submit a devotion, please do so. If you are not confident in your writing abilities but would like a specific issue or topic to be discussed, or if something has been laid on your heart, please let me know. In either case, you can send an email to fccgals@hotmail.com
The posting schedule will be slightly different. Rather than having a new post on each Friday, I will be posting devotions over the weekend (so Saturdays or Sundays). And I will try to have a new post for each week.
Okay. That wasn't so bad. I should have a devotion ready for this weekend so expect another post tomorrow or the day after.
I look forward to this journey. Happy Friday!
